Why Salem properties call a local electrician
The Chihuahuan Desert climate around Salem means months of high cooling loads, intense sun, and dramatic late-summer storms. Many homes in Dona Ana County are converting from evaporative cooling to refrigerated air, which usually calls for a new 240 volt circuit and sometimes a larger panel.
Depending on your address, power in Dona Ana County typically comes from El Paso Electric. When a job involves the meter or the service connection, we coordinate the shutoff and reconnection with the utility.
We provide garage electrical work throughout Salem and in nearby Garfield, Hatch, Derry, and Rincon.
